I got to sleep in until 9:30AM today.

A miracle. A miracle I haven’t had my husband do that before.

I’m feeling sappy. I’m not a hallmark card kind of gal but I do sort of kind of like Mother’s Day, it’s taken me by surprise for some reason.

I’m forever thankful to all of the women and men who have shared their stories with Expressing Motherhood. Jessica and I have met more then 160 people who have graced our bare stages.

A simple idea that has really just been so enjoyable.

I’m thankful to the son’s who have shared and the women who can not have children. For the mother’s who have lost their children and those who didn’t have the strongest role models growing up.

I look to all of your stories for guidance in my own mothering.
